Fourteen years after No Easy Day made him a #1 New York Times bestseller, and the federal government’s legal target, Matt Bissonnette is writing again. This time, under his own name.
No Easy Way is the third memoir from the former SEAL Team Six operator who, writing as Mark Owen in 2012, gave the firsthand account of Operation Neptune Spear, the mission that killed Osama bin Laden. The book that made him famous made him a defendant. What followed was years of civil litigation by the Department of Justice, a $6 million settlement, and a long stretch of public silence.
This book is about everything that happened in that silence.
The lawfare. The mission. The teammates who served with him on thirteen combat deployments. The years of waiting and watching. The decision, finally, to come out of the shadows of a pen name and tell the story under his real name. Most of all, the things that carried him through: Family, Friends, Fun, and Faith.
Matt Bissonnette deployed thirteen times during his fourteen-year Navy career. He served on SEAL Team Six. He participated in the rescue of Captain Richard Phillips and was a team leader on Operation Neptune Spear in Abbottabad, Pakistan. He served as an executive producer on the CBS series SEAL Team. He is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller No Easy Day (2012) and the #3 New York Times bestseller No Hero (2014).
No Easy Way releases in hardcover and Audible audiobook — with Matt Bissonnette narrating his own story for the first time.
